World in a Cage


I look through the thin bars

We want free from this cage

Because what we see

Hurts too much to say

Talent and magic

Bold ideas to push forward

All trapped inside

This wetched cage

And it hurts so much to see

The people trapped inside

Begging to be free

As they reinforce the bars

There is no future 

For there is no change

How can there be?

If we are all stuck in this cage?

We're insane. Inside my mind are people, some good others not so good. The Twin who has always been here, Fluttershy the most human part of us, K who is aggressive and Angry, while Grey Feather is always crying and hiding. The Dark Thoughts are there too, their leader is Lilium, and when she becomes my Dark Twin, I become Cain. I guess we really are insane.
